Though 80% of the small businesses surveyed by Swipeclock have a timekeeping solution, many reported their solution lacks the scheduling and PTO management features that small business employers need. Employers are finding that their current time solution isn’t keeping up with the growing demands and changing conditions.

New Employee Scheduling and PTO Challenges

For example, with hybrid workplaces and flexible schedules, employees need improved access to their schedules and their vacation time. In addition, many small businesses are subject to new predictive scheduling laws. It’s difficult (if not impossible) to create compliant schedules that ensure high productivity with manual scheduling processes.

Integrated Timekeeping, Scheduling and PTO is a Game Changer

The WorkforceHub small business time and labor solution has employee scheduling and PTO management integrated with timekeeping. It allows managers to see PTO in schedule context so they can easily plan schedules around employee time off. In addition, employees can request time off in the system and manager can review requests in a centralized location.
